Illinois families are being crushed by some of the highest property taxes in the nation. For working families, seniors, young parents, and homeowners, the cost of staying in the community we love keeps going up.

Gabby Shanahan believes families deserve better.

That is why Gabby is leading with a citizen-led advisory referendum to send a clear message to Springfield: it is time to cap and lower property taxes. The referendum asks voters:

Should the General Assembly pass legislation that would cap and lower property taxes and would provide state funding to local governments that agree to reduce property taxes?

This is about giving voters a voice. It is about forcing Springfield to listen. And it is about making clear that families want real property tax relief, not more excuses.

Gabby Shanahan is a working mom who understands how rising costs hit families at the kitchen table. She is running to bring honesty, integrity, and accountability back to Springfield, and that starts with fighting for lower property taxes and a more affordable Illinois.

Together, we can cap property tax growth, lower the burden on families, and demand honest leadership that puts taxpayers first.
